@Ignister Deck #769810 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Stun, Toolbox
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link Summon 2300-2500 ATK Link Monsters (Allied Code Talker @Ignister, Maliss Hearts Crypter, Worldsea Dragon Zealantis, Firewall Dragon) off a Cyberse engine, then close with the boss; Maliss GY-banish loop: Maliss traps and Maliss monsters recycle the GY into Link Monsters and LP-based revival
• Turn 1 (going first): Opening hand needs a Backup @Ignister or Wizard @Ignister starter and a Cyberse Link route; with 5 cards this is about 34% for Backup alone (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Six-card hand plus hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Droll, Impermanence, Dominus Impulse) to stop the opponent's first line before a Link Summon
• Recovery: Maliss monsters and traps banished from the GY can be Special Summoned back, and Backup @Ignister searches a DARK Cyberse monster
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan (Verified: side_count 0)

Why it scores here

This deck is not legal as submitted: three cards exceed their OCG copy limits (Maliss in Underground at 3 copies against 2 legal, and two Forbidden cards, Charmer Quartet in Bloom and Link Decoder), so it does not receive a normal Final Contextual score and is capped low. Structurally, the list shows a real plan: Backup @Ignister and Wizard @Ignister start a Cyberse Link route into 2300-2500 ATK Link Monsters, and nine hand traps plus the Maliss GY-banish engine give the deck strong interaction density. The score reflects the system: the copy-limit failures, a 14-card brick-prone main deck with about 19 non-engine slots, no Side Deck, and no recorded boards to confirm the ceiling. Archetype popularity and the 36% usage-core coverage did not earn points, and no card scores were averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Stun secondary disclosed; Stun-heavy interaction is reflected in D7 and D8 but the Midrange weights were kept as the base. Structural ≈ 46, Going First ≈ 42, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12); illegal-deck cap (-6). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(46) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(35) = 43.8 before modifiers; the deck is Illegal, so the normal score is replaced by a low cap and the result is 25

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.34 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ — (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Nine hand traps and seven negation-text cards give layered interaction on both turns
• Multiple 2300-2500 ATK Link Monsters give closing power once the engine is live
• Maliss GY-banish loop provides recovery after one disruption

Weaknesses

• Illegal as submitted: three copy-limit failures, two of them Forbidden
• No Side Deck, so best-of-3 adaptation is absent
• Low exact-archetype purity (9.1%); the engine is split across Maliss, Ignister, Phantom Knights and tech
• About 19 non-engine slots raise brick risk on a 40-card main

Critical choke points

• Backup @Ignister (3 copies) is the main early starter; a 5-card opening hand has about a 34% chance of containing one
• Link Summon route depends on a Cyberse monster already on the field, so one disruption can end the line

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Maliss in Underground 3/2, Charmer Quartet in Bloom Forbidden, Link Decoder Forbidden; Main 40 and Extra 15 within OCG size rules; Side 0; Hand-trap and negation text counts from the card list
• Inferred: Starter probability: 0.3376 for Backup @Ignister in 5 cards; Going-second hand-trap probability: 0.8082; Brick and consistency estimates from non-engine slot counts
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit: no dated metagame sample or tournament link
• Data gaps: Deck is Illegal; copy-limit failures must be fixed before a normal score applies No combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta-share and matchup record are absent No Side Deck registered; post-side plan cannot be evaluated No guides for @Ignister in the export No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN
